In the early 1970's two seasons of excavation were carried out here under the direction of the late Don Renato Loria. In 2002 a third campaign of excavation took place. The site, covering an area of about 2 hectares, consists of a nuraghe with a complex corridor, an extensive village of round huts, a partially preserved defensive wall, three Giants tombs and a line of six betils (sacred stones), three of which are "breast" shaped In the corridor of the betil tomb, (tomb A), a niche is situated immediately behind the entrance slab on the right-hand side, a characteristic which has been observed in other tombs of the Marghine. The exploration of tomb C brought to light an irregular oval shaped megalithic structure, without foundations, with an an apse shaped facade and a narrow corridor inside. To the front, situated in the exterior part of the esedra there is what seems to be a pavement. The sides of the esedra are missing perhaps because the tomb was not completed. The corridor contained no bone or ceramic finds. A fragmentary punic coin was found near the entrance. This find may indicate reuse of the monument as does the series of small stones that close the front of the corridor and delimit the esedra. South-east of the tomb, in the area in front of the esedra, numerous fragments of pottery of the nuragic period were found. These include the bases of one or more cooking dishes with combed decoration, a curved body sherd with a horizontal bi-lobate handle and a body sherd from a bowl with a vertical handle. The finds are decorated in a local style,already known as the Tamuli type, characterized by rectangular motifs filled with dense dotting impressed with a comb. On the basis of the pottery the site has benn given a preliminary date of the mid-Bronze. (Alba Foschi Nieddu - Isabelle Paschina)
